Control…
How could I not realise something so simple?
From the beginning, I never yearned for power over Spacetime. Creation and Destruction, Life and Death… They were all a byproduct of my true power. The power to control my own life. The ability to change my fate and rewrite my Destiny. And most importantly, the power to protect the ones I loved the most.
That's right… The five rings were just catalysts for me to focus my power. To concentrate on it so that I wouldn't run out of control.
I stepped away from Lilith, ignoring her befuddled expression as I did so. I raised my right hand and focused on the five rings. They were connected by a metallic chain and congregated onto the single bracelet on my wrist. Glistening and glimmering, the five rings resonated with my heart's desire, and they each unleashed their auras.
